driven by desires for geopolitical or commercial dominance which can lead to &#8220;new forms of slavery.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>He emphasized that ownership of AI data must not rest exclusively in private hands and called for policies that protect workers and children from the harms of AI.<\/li>\n<li>Leo called for a reduction in competition between AI companies, advocating for a slower pace to allow deeper reflection and responsible regulation.<\/li>\n<li>He highlighted the need for robust legal frameworks, independent oversight, informed users, and a political system that does not neglect its responsibility in handling AI.<\/li>\n<li>Leo emphasized AI must be &#8220;disarmed&#8221; and used to serve the common good, just like nuclear energy, and not as an instrument of domination or exclusion.<\/li>\n<li>The encyclical discussed the risks associated with AI, including job losses and the need to ensure equitable benefits worldwide, alongside the complexities of interpreting AI systems.<\/li>\n<li>Leo critiqued the notion of the &#8220;just war&#8221; theory and stated &#8220;no algorithm can make war morally acceptable,&#8221; dismissing the idea that AI-driven weaponry is permissible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope says AI must be \u2018disarmed\u2019 to prevent domination, exclusion, and death | News https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/5\/25\/pope-says-ai-must-be-disarmed-to-prevent-domination-exclusion-and-death&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/afp_6a143aea4b82-1779710698.jpg?resize=1920%2C1440","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-219833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219833"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219833"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219833\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219835,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219833\/revisions\/219835"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
